The following sub-major will be available to students within the proposed Bachelor of Contemporary Art degree. These may be taken within the elective band of the BCA degree.
The workshop is conducted as a forum for technical demonstrations, workshops, special guest lectures, screenings and group discussions. Students will focus on specific advanced camera/sound/editing problems.
Post Production and Digital Effects
The unit introduces one to digital manipulation of images by learning the basics of programs such as Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. The unit provides a base that students in filmmaking can use in the editing of their films. The unit is designed to enable students to explore and examine the evolving current and future opportunities for post production design using digital video design and effects technologies. Students will design and produce material ready for offset printing and for quicktime format. By doing so, students will examine and critique current styles and trends in digital video; consider the impact of these emerging technologies on the practice of design; and investigate the potential social and cultural context of such formats.
Introduction to postproduction sound for applications to video and multi-media production.
Video Project will involve students intensively in the application of digital video techniques within a collective major project as your final assignment. Video Project is the culmination of prior learning in DV Camera techniques, non-linear editing and sound.
